Mithril Throne of Forgotten Realms

Oro's long face had a calm and composed expression, as if he wasn't the one who was hit by the spell just now.

"It seems that living too long is really prone to problems,"

Oro touched his forehead, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he raised his head to look at Victor, who was a bit surprised when the sneak attack failed. "The dissociation technique is useless to me, don't you remember?"

"Is it a protection spell?"

Victor here frowned, as if he had discovered something extraordinary, "No, it shouldn't be like this...why is that?"

"Okay, Lord of Withering, don't waste time," Oro saw the other party's puzzled look, as if a little impatient, the dark staff in his hand shook slightly, and a random door appeared out of nowhere in the air, "This The place is not convenient, let's call from another place."

Without waiting for Victor to respond, Oro walked into the white light spot on his own.Victor, on the other hand, was obviously confused, and was stunned for a moment before following.

Standing on the ground, Suo Mantu put away his two swords, and his complexion looked complicated, making Fang Yi scratch his head in the rain and mist: What the hell is going on! ?Can anyone explain?

Fang Yi quickly released his stealth, and walked quickly to the side of the elf knight.Just now, Fang Yi was 100% sure that the person in front of him was that uncle elf.

But before Fang Yi opened his mouth to ask, the elf knight waved at Fang Yi as if he had guessed what the human assassin was going to say.

"Fang Cuan, after the battle is over, come to the armory in the west of the city." Suomantu brushed the dust off his shoulders, his hoarse voice remained unchanged, "You helped us a lot this time, Oro...will definitely give you reward enough."

"What's the big deal?"

Fang Yi was at a loss at first, and he couldn't figure out the point at all after hearing the elf knight's words, "Mr. Oro, isn't he looking for a book? And this time's treasure..."

"You'll know in a while."

Suo Mantu smiled at Fang Yi, made a quick gesture with his right hand, and a holy and dazzling white light immediately appeared beside him.Fang Yi narrowed his eyes subconsciously, and when the light disappeared, Fang Yi's eyes remained fixed again.

A pure white griffin appeared in front of him!

The griffin in front of him was surprisingly big.Almost half taller than Fang Yi.Two sharp claws firmly grasped the ground, and the bird's beak, which was thicker than Fang Yi's arm, looked very scary.Fang Yi was caught by the eyes of this big bird, and he felt a sense of danger in his heart.

Nima, what kind of cow is a long-haired bird?Fang Yi slandered secretly.But still impatiently full of envy, jealousy and hatred!

Griffins are pets that can be used both for riding and fighting.The guaranteed quality in the game is the epic level.The big bird in front of him must have the strength to match Suomantu's level.Baobuqi has already evolved once or twice...

People are really more popular than people! !

Of course, Suo Mantu didn't know what Fang Yi was thinking, so he simply stepped on the back of the griffin and waved at Fang Yi.Then he patted the Griffon's neck lightly.

The huge griffin immediately ran up a few steps, stretched out its wide and terrifying wings, and jumped into the sky like a small plane, leaving behind the human assassin who was eager to see through.

He is a legendary npc, what can I compare with him?Fang Yi curled his lips and quickly adjusted his mentality.

The two teams guarding the other side stared at the real-time movie for a long time, and finally looked forward to the evil star away, but before they had time to say a word to the knight in plate armor, they actually rode The even more glamorous Griffon flew away too!

When Bei Ke and Wu Goubai ran here with their people, even the assassin disappeared, and they looked at each other for a while.

However, the quiet state in the floating city didn't last for too long. After a while, there was a tremor like an earthquake from the north of the city, followed by a rumbling sound like thunder.

Wu Goubai and Bei Ke glanced at each other, they both took two steps back in unison, and then led their men into the nearest alley.

The mage's tower, which was in ruins, immediately became a little quiet, and even the dancing dust seemed a little tired, and fell down one after another.

***

The ground in front of him was a mess, dozens of gray dwarf corpses were lying on the ground in disorder, the facial features were all bloodstained, the eyeballs were also gouged out by the murderer, and the grayish-white traces left after the brains were sucked could be faintly seen in the eye sockets.

Pieces of blood stained the dark brown rock with a layer of dark red, adding a hint of horror to the silent cave.

At the edge of the battlefield, the corpses of three stone lizards were lying in the corner, two of them had their heads chopped off, and their death conditions were quite miserable.But the owner of the stone lizard has disappeared.

A stone lizard of this size is obviously not a mount for these gray dwarf slaves.

"It's a mind flayer."

The mage frowned, carefully observed the wounds on the heads of the gray dwarves, and quickly came to a conclusion.However, more doubts followed, leaving the mage a little confused.

"They didn't bring these dwarves back, and they didn't suck all the brains." Qinggang looked through the dwarf corpses one by one, and found the same problem, "Why didn't they bring them back?"

The old devil stood up, shook his head slightly, and fell into deep thought.

Mind flayers feed on the brains of living things, but their food intake is very small. As long as the prey's IQ is not too low, eating once a month is enough to ensure their own nutritional supply.

Therefore, the mind flayers will first use their minds to control the captured prey, and then bring most of the prey back to their lairs to raise them in captivity so that they can be enjoyed at any time-providing food for themselves or their offspring, or directly to the mastermind in the lair. Nutrition.

Situations like this kind of waste are rare.

"Then maybe the other party is full, or there are too few of them to take so many people away~"

Wildhammer found two bags of gold coins on the corpses of the three stone lizards, and put them away happily.Seeing that the two teammates were still frowning and thinking about it, they said carelessly, "What's the use of thinking about it?"

"No," the old devil shook his head, raised the staff with the light spell again, and looked at the pile of corpses extending far away, "I think it should be that they don't have a fixed residence nearby, so there is no need to do this." More 'grain reserves'."

Hearing this, the priestess' eyes lit up.Already understand what the Master means.Immediately said: "In other words, we don't have to worry about the cities with mind flayers nearby, we just need to kill these wandering mind flayers?"

"Ok!"

The old devil nodded, and his heart relaxed a lot: I hope this is really the case, if there is a city of mind flayers nearby.It's better to leave early~

"Hey! There's blood here!"

In a dark environment.The Wildhammer took on the role of scout as a matter of course.When Qing Gang and Lao Mo were discussing things together.The dwarf warrior had already wandered around and soon found some traces.

The bloodstains on the ground were far away from the center of the battlefield, and they were all dripping on the rocks.Looking along the bloodstain all the way, the crooked traces vaguely lead to a cave in the distance.

"Maybe those who used to ride stone lizards." Qinggang listened carefully to the movement in the cave, then looked back at the Master, "Follow?"

"Of course we have to follow,"

The old devil raised his hand and threw an exploration technique into the cave, and gestured to his teammates, "Our hopes are all on these octopus heads."

……

The blood in the huge cave was filled with a pungent bloody smell, and incomplete or even rotten corpses could be seen everywhere.The dwarf warrior crouched at the entrance of the cave, staring closely at the only two still moving figures in the cave, wondering why this guy looks so weird?

Walking back and forth among the corpses were two mind flayers, but the appearance of these two was quite different from normal mind flayers.The four tentacles on one of the heads were unusually pale, and lacked the slime of normal mind flayers, and seemed stiff when moving.

The other one was even more exaggerated. I don't know if there was something growing on the originally thin limbs, but many small tentacles grew out of thin air. When it moved, it still landed on all fours, and the dwarf looked confused for a while.

"How? Is it a mind flayer?"

The old devil squatting behind asked anxiously.

Mind flayers are extremely alert, and they dare not get too close to use probing techniques. Moreover, fighting this kind of monster must take the lead, otherwise the other party will not notice that it will become an enemy-in-the-dark situation. The three of us But I can't stand that perverted mind explosion!

"looks like……"

Wildhammer scratched his head, and replied in a low voice with some uncertainty, "But why is this appearance so strange, it's not the same as before..."

Neither Laomo nor Qinggang prepared any dark vision spells, so they couldn't help being a little suspicious when they heard Wildhammer's words: What does it mean that they are different?

But after such a delay, the three of them immediately tasted the bitter fruit.

"System prompt: You have been affected by the effect of the detect thought spell."

The same system prompt sounded in the three people's ears almost at the same time. The old devil's face turned pale, knowing that the location had been exposed, and immediately cast a phantom sound, regardless of the location where the spell took effect was chosen by him, he quickly rolled away. hiding place.

However, the mind flayer's psionic attack did not come as expected. Wildhammer, who was at the front, thought that he would be directly hit by the next mind blast. Who knew that the two mind flayers would jump several times in a row , jumped directly in front of him, raised his paw, and slapped the Wildhammer on his head and face!

I wipe! !Mind flayers also have part-time fighters?

This thought subconsciously flashed through Wildhammer's mind, but the shield in his left hand was already raised by reflex.

"boom!!"

As if being hit by an earth elemental, Wildhammer felt a slight numbness in his left hand holding the shield. Unexpectedly, the center of gravity was unstable due to this slap, and he staggered slightly to the right!

What the hell!Isn't this product changed by something else?

But the surprise is the surprise, the Wildhammer has never been afraid of anyone in close combat, seeing another mind flayer raised its skinny arm and wanted to attack again, the Wildhammer's right foot stomped and attacked, and the broken stones flew away. At the same time, the epee in his right hand has been swung round and cut towards the "giant mind flayer" in front of him!

"Snapped!"

The defense of this unknown species of mind flayer was obviously not proportional to its strength, and it was sent flying horizontally by the Wildhammer.He slammed into the wall hard, making the sound of bones breaking.

Qinggang and the old devil who were standing at the back had already released their first spells, and the Wildhammer was immediately covered with a protective chaos, and the spell ray of the panic spell also accurately hit the chest of another mind flayer.

But the monster hit by the horror book didn't respond at all, and the deadly claws slapped towards the dwarf warrior for the second time with the sound of wind.

"It's an undead creature!!"

The old devil who got the feedback at the first time immediately exclaimed, and also reminded the dwarf.The system feedback I got just now is impressively "The target is an undead creature, immune to panic!"

The old devil's shock was no small matter. Do mind flayers have the habit of spontaneously turning into undead?

Or did someone capture these monsters and turn them into undead with spells.Could it be the tall mage Zhu Ke saw?

Many guesses flashed through the old devil's mind.But the battle in front of him is simply not for people to think about.The mind flayer that was blown away by the Wildhammer had already stood up unsteadily, and rushed towards the cave for the second time.

With a thought in his heart, the mage immediately overturned the battle routine he had prepared, and raised his hand to apply the brute force technique to the priestess. "Go to Qinggang. Try to dispel the undead. They seem to have no psychic powers!"

Wildhammer and Qinggang also saw that the situation had changed. Because of the mind flayer's disgusting mental attack, the planned fighting method was mainly sneak attack.Then the dwarf warrior stood up to protect against evil, looking for an opportunity to kill the opponent with a single blow.

But now the few people simply let go of their hands and feet, treating each other as two wild monsters with only brute force.What's more, Qinggang, who has advanced to the war priest, has a lot of spells against undead creatures, and the battle that he thought would be extremely troublesome has become extremely simple.

But without psychic powers, the melee abilities of the two mind flayers could be called abnormal.His strength is not much lower than that of dwarf warriors, but his skills are not slow at all.

Wildhammer screamed excitedly, "Aww", waved the epee in his hand, "ping pong pong pong" and fought to the death with the opponent.

Although he was accidentally pinned to the ground by the opponent once in the middle, fortunately there were still teammates. After 10 minutes, the two "Undead Mind Flayers" were completely broken up and turned into broken bones and rotten flesh all over the ground.

"Hu~~"

Seeing the experience hint, the dwarf warrior and the priestess immediately sat down on the ground without any image, panting heavily.Even the old devil standing in the rear was exhausted—these two things moved too fast, the mage had to run back and forth in coordination with the Wildhammer and Qing Gang's movements, and his physical strength was also used up.

"This...what's the matter?"

Qinggang wiped off the sweat from his temples, turned his head to look at the corpse of the "Mind Flayer" on the ground, and looked very puzzled, "Do mind flayers also have zombies and undead?"

"I can't say that there are none, it's just that there are very few."

The old devil raised his hand and cast a dancing light technique, poked the two corpses on the ground with his staff, and spoke in an uncertain tone, "But we are really lucky, I guess players born in the Underdark are all No chance to see a mind flayer zombie?"

Now that they were getting closer, the old demons could see the true colors of these two illithids.

The skin that should have been dark purple had already turned pale, and in some places even pale bones were exposed.

The mind flayer with a relatively large shape change has more obvious traces of transformation. There are many metal-like branches on the shoulders, and there are many spikes shining coldly on the spine. afraid of people.

"Never mind what it is," the three of them each poured a bottle of stamina potion, and then the old devil stood up and looked up to the other side, "Look around again, if there is nothing else, our task... ..."

The old devil stopped abruptly in the middle of his words, and the Wildhammer who had just stood up was taken aback for a moment, then followed the mage's gaze and looked behind him.

A dense crowd of black shadows appeared in the three caves on the other side, and the dancing tentacles on their heads made the three people present immediately feel desperate.

Dozens of mind flayers swarmed out of the surrounding caves, but none of them launched a psychic attack.The deep whimpering sounded together, causing waves of chaotic echoes in the huge cave.

The three drew their weapons and subconsciously stood back to back.

Wildhammer swallowed, and took out a scroll from his backpack, "Old Devil, aren't you a mind flayer without a lair?"

"This is the lair of undead creatures,"

The old devil replied in a low voice, a whirling spark had already appeared on the tip of the staff, "Try to get experience!"

***

Seeing that the two teams ran towards the direction of the loud noise, Fang Yi, who was hiding in the dark, smiled and didn't follow, but turned back to the broken mage tower.

The rooms on the first floor were not damaged, and a large number of books were scattered on the ground due to the vibration caused by the explosion-but they were already messy, and Fang Yi didn't feel any changes.

This mysterious mage named Oro aroused Fang Yi's great interest. Judging from the situation just now, Suomantu and the other party should have similar status.But no matter in terms of speech, attitude or the way they communicate with each other, the elf knights obviously respect this Oro.

This is quite intriguing.

It is clearly stated in the official background that Somantu already had a legendary level many years before the game started.

This Oro could be a legendary mage, a lord, or both.But to be friends with Suomantu, the camp must also be neutral and kind.

What reason does he have to ignore a task given by a not-so-bad legendary mage?Fang Yi searched desperately among the mountains of books in the house, vowing to find the glory of the "M'Hair"!

Is there anything more satisfying than hugging the thigh of a legendary npc? (to be continued..)
